4.) Oligodendrocytes
No depth in the junction;
of course, this one is well-known in myelin production,
Oligodendrocytes can produce amyloid beta by the swift of a breeze.
If you unaware, it is a protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease.
Previously thought to be produced by neurons,
a new pattern to the fleurons.
With the art in the recovery,
this was an unexpected discovery.
Short to a valance,
Heeyah! It is important in lipid metabolism and energy balance.
Truth or dare, fee or a fare, bright as a flare,
this can help with MS and Alzheimer's by promoting myelin repair.
Amyloid beta with levels of production that are higher or similar to neurons-
wow! New petals to the fleurons.
From Huntington's disease and frontotemporal dementia,
up, up and away and we have a neurodegenerative differentia.
Uncommon as microscopic mites,
we have neuro power that bites,
A journey to the brain with delights;
this is our fantastic oligodendrocytes.
